Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of storage components and chip technology, and more specifically, to a disk positioning and lighting method and apparatus, a storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing technologies detect hard drive failures through operating systems or storage pools, triggering data read / write error alarms or anomalies. The hard drive's location is then determined by combining this with the server's hardware topology and communicated via a remote console or management software. One approach involves in-band LEDs via a SAS link, but this fails when the hard drive malfunctions and the LED link is disconnected, preventing complete disk location. Another technology uses the server's BMC to manage hard drive backplane LEDs out of band, independent of the SAS link between the I / O controller and the hard drive; this is currently the mainstream method for disk location via LEDs.

[0003] However, with technological advancements and the proliferation of device models, new platforms, in order to adapt to more models, have changed the BMC's out-of-band management logic for hard drive LEDs from a fixed relationship with hard drive slots to an automatic allocation of the corresponding slots. Under this allocation principle, if an anomaly occurs in the out-of-band management backplane channel, the BMC will reassign the "Slot number." If the LED position is incorrect, replacing the hard drive could lead to data corruption, severely impacting data services and data security. In other words, the relevant technology suffers from a problem where the BMC's reassignment doesn't maintain the original mapping between the LED parameters and hard drive slots, leading to LED failure in hard drive positioning or incorrect LED placement.

[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a disk positioning lighting method and apparatus, storage medium and electronic device to at least solve the technical problem in the related art that the original binding lighting parameters of the management software and the hard disk slot remain unchanged due to the redistribution of BMC, resulting in the failure of lighting to position the hard disk or the incorrect lighting position.

[0027] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0029] The methods and embodiments provided in this application can be executed on a server device or a similar computing device. Taking running on a server device as an example, Figure 1 This is a hardware structure block diagram of a server device for a disk positioning and lighting method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the server device may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the diagram. A processor 102 (which may include, but is not limited to, a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA, etc.) and a memory 104 for storing data are also shown. The server device may further include a transmission device 106 for communication functions and an input / output device 108. Those skilled in the art will understand that… Figure 1 The structure shown is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the structure of the server equipment described above. For example, the server equipment may also include components that are more... Figure 1 The more or fewer components shown, or having the same Figure 1 The different configurations shown.

[0030] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, such as application software programs and modules, like the computer program corresponding to the disk positioning lamp-lighting method in this embodiment. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and lamp-lighting operations by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, thus implementing the above-described method. The memory 104 may include high-speed random access memory and non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some instances, the memory 104 may further include memory remotely located relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories can be connected to server devices via a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, corporate intranets, local area networks, mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof.

[0031] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. Specific examples of the network described above may include a wireless network provided by a communication provider for the server device. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a Network Interface Controller (NIC), which can connect to other network devices via a base station to communicate with the Internet. In another example, the transmission device 106 may be a Radio Frequency (RF) module used for wireless communication with the Internet.

[0032] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the above disk positioning and lighting method includes:

[0033] S202, obtain the respective on-state of multiple hard disk backplanes, wherein the on-state is used to indicate the current working state of the hard disk backplane.

[0034] S204, determine the reference hard disk backplane in operation from multiple hard disk backplanes based on the in-situ status, and obtain the hard disk quantity information of the reference hard disk backplane, wherein the hard disk quantity information is used to indicate the number of hard disk objects that can be installed on the reference hard disk backplane.

[0035] S206, Determine the target positioning description information of the target hard drive based on the backplane quantity information and hard drive quantity information of the reference hard drive backplane, wherein the backplane quantity information is used to indicate the number of reference hard drive backplanes in the working state, and the target positioning description information is used to indicate the installation position of the target hard drive.

[0036] S208, based on the target location description information, perform a lighting operation on the target indicator light associated with the target hard drive.

[0037] In step S202 above, the working state can be either in-place or faulty (out-of-place). In some optional implementations, for example, the in-place status of multiple hard disk backplanes can be obtained through the out-of-band management hard disk backplane information query interface. For example, to query the out-of-band information of the rear backplane 4, the execution command ipmitool raw 0x3c 0x1c 0x03 0x01 0x04 is obtained according to the IPMI query hard disk backplane information instruction format. If the first byte is 0x01, it indicates that the rear backplane 4 is in place, that is, in the working state.

[0038] Then step S204 can be executed, which determines the reference hard disk backplane in the working state from multiple hard disk backplanes based on the in-situ status, and obtains the hard disk quantity information of the reference hard disk backplane. It can be understood that the hard disk quantity information is used to indicate the number of hard disk objects that can be installed on the reference hard disk backplane.

[0039] In some alternative implementations, for example, the number of hard drives on the hard drive backplane can be obtained through the out-of-band management hard drive backplane information query interface. For example, to query the out-of-band information of the rear backplane 4, the execution command ipmitool raw 0x3c 0x1c 0x03 0x01 0x04 is obtained according to the IPMI query hard drive backplane information instruction format. If the 3rd byte is 0x0c, it indicates that the maximum number of hard drives supported is 12.

[0040] In step S206 above, the target positioning description information of the target hard disk is determined based on the backplane quantity information and hard disk quantity information of the reference hard disk backplane. The backplane quantity information is used to indicate the number of reference hard disk backplanes in the working state, and the target positioning description information is used to indicate the installation position of the target hard disk.

[0041] Optionally, the target location description information mentioned above may include, but is not limited to, a sequence number describing the physical location of the target hard disk, such as a slot index or the slot number or label of the hard disk's location.

[0042] The above describes a specific implementation method for determining the target location description information of the target hard drive based on the backplane quantity information and hard drive quantity information of the reference hard drive backplane: for example, the target hard drive is the hard drive on the 6th drive on the first front hard drive backplane, and the numbering information is as follows: Figure 3As shown, the backplane number of the first front hard drive backplane is "0", and the hard drive number on the 6th drive on the first front hard drive backplane is "5". For example, the target location description information can be determined as "05", or the slot index can be determined as "0x05". It should be noted that each hard drive slot usually has a unique index number, such as 0, 1, 2, etc. This index number is used as a unique identifier in the system so that the software can accurately know which slot's indicator light to control. In the hardware design, the indicator light of each hard drive slot is connected to a specific I / O pin of a microcontroller or control circuit. The slot index is used to find this mapping relationship, thereby controlling the corresponding hardware pin to realize the lighting operation of the target hard drive. The specific content of the target location description information is not specifically limited here.

[0043] In step S208 above, the target indicator light associated with the target hard drive is turned on according to the target location description information. It can be understood that after obtaining the physical location and corresponding logical number of the target hard drive, the signal is transmitted through SGPIO (if using SAS / SATA hard drive) or other protocols (if using NVMe hard drive). After receiving the signal, the CPLD or other control chip on the backplane of the hard drive will control the LED light of the corresponding hard drive according to the signal content. Optionally, the lighting mode can also be selected as needed to perform the lighting operation.

[0044] It is understood that a hard disk is a device used for storing data, consisting of one or more rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material for storing data. This application first obtains the respective in-situ status of multiple hard disk backplanes, indicating their current working state. Further, based on the in-situ status, it identifies a reference hard disk backplane in a working state from among the multiple backplanes and obtains the number of hard disks on the reference backplane, indicating the number of hard disk objects that can be installed on it. Then, based on the backplane number information and the number of hard disks on the reference backplane, it determines the target positioning description information of the target hard disk. The backplane number information indicates the number of reference hard disk backplanes in a working state, and the target positioning description information indicates the installation position of the target hard disk. This achieves the implementation of lighting operations on the target indicator light associated with the target hard disk based on the target positioning description information, thus solving the technical problem in related technologies where the BMC is reassigned while the original binding parameters of the management software remain unchanged with respect to the hard disk slots, leading to failure in hard disk positioning or incorrect lighting positions.

[0045] In one optional implementation, obtaining the number of hard drives in the reference hard drive backplane includes:

[0046] S1, if the server has an out-of-band management information query interface, obtain the number of hard drives on the reference hard drive backplane on the server according to the out-of-band management information query interface;

[0047] S2, in the absence of an out-of-band management information query interface on the server, obtain the machine model information that matches each reference hard disk backplane, wherein the machine model information records the number of hard disks that can be installed on the hard disk backplane; obtain the number of hard disks that match the reference hard disk backplane based on the machine model information.

[0048] Optionally, in step S1 above, if the server has an out-of-band management information query interface, the number of hard drives on the reference hard drive backplane on the server can be obtained according to the out-of-band management information query interface.

[0049] In this embodiment, the out-of-band management hard disk backplane typically provides an information query interface that conforms to the IPMI specification. For example, if the server where the target hard disk is located is an NF5280M6 model server, the interface command for querying hard disk backplane information can be found according to the BMC "IPMI Command Usage Manual" of the NF5280M6 model server. For example, executing the command ipmitool raw 0x3c 0x1c0x03 0x01 0x04 indicates querying the out-of-band information of the backplane 4, specifically used to obtain the on-premises status information of the backplane 4 and the maximum number of hard disks that the hard disk backplane can support.

[0050] It should be noted that the BMC (Board Management Controller) is a dedicated microcontroller embedded on the motherboard of a computer (usually a server) and is responsible for the interface between the system management software and the platform hardware.

[0051] In some optional implementations, when the server lacks an out-of-band management information query interface, the machine model information matching each reference hard disk backplane is obtained. This machine model information indicates the number of hard disks that can be installed on the hard disk backplane. Based on the machine model information, the number of hard disks matching the reference hard disk backplane is then obtained. In other words, for models that do not provide an out-of-band management hard disk backplane information query interface and use out-of-band channel disk positioning, the hard disk backplane model can be queried to determine the maximum number of hard disks supported by the hard disk backplane.

[0052] Through the above-described embodiments of this application, the number of hard drives on the reference hard drive backplane on the server can be obtained in different ways under different circumstances, such as when the server has an out-of-band management information query interface or when the server does not have an out-of-band management information query interface. This allows for the configuration of accurate hard drive serial numbers on the hard drive backplane, thereby improving the accuracy of matching the hard drive ID number identified by the server with the actual location and improving the accuracy of performing the lighting operation on the target hard drive in a server with a large number of hard drives.

[0053] In one alternative implementation, before determining a reference hard disk backplane in an operational state from a plurality of hard disk backplanes based on its presence status, the method includes:

[0054] S1, obtain the first field from the configuration information that matches the reference hard disk backplane, wherein the configuration information is used to indicate the in-situ status of the hard disk backplane and the number of hard disk objects installed on the hard disk backplane.

[0055] S2, if the first field is the value of the first field, determine that the hard disk backplane is in working state;

[0056] S3, if the first field is the value of the second field, determine that the hard disk backplane is in a faulty state.

[0057] Optionally, in steps S1-S3 above, the first field of the configuration information matching the reference hard disk backplane is obtained, wherein the configuration information is used to indicate the presence status of the hard disk backplane and the number of hard disk objects installed on the hard disk backplane; if the first field is a first field value, it is determined that the hard disk backplane is in a working state; if the first field is a second field value, it is determined that the hard disk backplane is in a fault state.

[0058] In some implementations, the out-of-band information of the rear backplane 4 is queried according to the command to query the hard disk backplane information. The command ipmitool raw 0x3c 0x1c 0x03 0x01 0x04 is executed, and the returned information is the configuration information of the queried rear backplane 4, such as "01 30 0C 0f 0f.......". If the first field in the configuration information is the first field value "1" (i.e. the first byte is 0x01), it means that the rear backplane 4 is in place. If the first field in the configuration information is the second field value "0" (i.e. the first byte is 0x00), it means that the rear backplane 4 is not in place (or in a fault state).

[0059] Through the above-described embodiments of this application, based on the first field in the configuration information matching the reference hard disk backplane, the configuration information is used to indicate the presence status of the hard disk backplane and the number of hard disk objects installed on the hard disk backplane; when the first field is a first field value, it is determined that the hard disk backplane is in a working state; when the first field is a second field value, it is determined that the hard disk backplane is in a fault state. The presence status of the hard disk backplane is determined, and the hard disk backplanes in the working state are numbered. If the hard disk is not in place, that is, these hard disks will be ignored during the light-up operation, which can avoid mistakenly lighting up the indicator lights of the positions of hard disks that have been removed or not installed, and reduce the misoperation of maintenance personnel when locating faults.

[0060] In one optional implementation, obtaining the number of hard drives in the reference hard drive backplane includes:

[0061] S1, if the first field in the configuration information is the value of the first field, obtain the second field in the configuration information;

[0062] S2, determine the number of hard drives that can be installed on the reference hard drive backplane based on the second field.

[0063] Optionally, in steps S1-S2 above, if the first field in the configuration information is the first field value, the second field in the configuration information is obtained; and the number of hard drives that can be installed on the reference hard disk backplane is determined based on the second field.

[0064] In some implementations, the out-of-band information of the rear backplane 4 is queried according to the command to query the hard disk backplane information. The command ipmitool raw 0x3c 0x1c 0x03 0x01 0x04 is executed, and the returned information is the configuration information of the queried rear backplane 4, such as "01 30 0c 0f 0f.......". If the first field is the value "1" (i.e. the first byte is 0x01), that is, the rear backplane 4 is in place, the second field in the above configuration information is further obtained. Taking the second field as the third byte in the above configuration information as an example, the third byte 0x0c indicates that the rear backplane 4 supports a maximum number of hard disks of 12.

[0065] Through the above-described embodiments of this application, when the first field in the configuration information is the first field value, the second field in the configuration information is obtained; the number of hard drives that can be installed on the reference hard disk backplane is determined according to the second field, and then the corresponding hard disk code is configured for each hard drive according to the maximum number of hard drives that the hard disk backplane can support, thereby realizing the positioning of the hard drive and the physical location of the hard drive according to the serial number, thereby improving the accuracy of the disk lighting operation.

[0066] In one optional implementation, before determining the target location description information of the target hard drive based on the backplane quantity information and hard drive quantity information of the reference hard drive backplane, the following steps are included:

[0067] S1. Configure a hard disk backplane number for the reference hard disk backplane according to the physical mounting interface location and hard disk backplane type of the reference hard disk backplane. The hard disk backplane type includes front hard disk backplane, rear hard disk backplane and internal backplane hard disk.

[0068] S2, configure the hard drive number according to the physical installation location and hard drive type of the hard drive. The hard drive type includes front hard drive, rear hard drive and internal hard drive.

[0069] Optionally, in step S1 above, a hard disk backplane number is configured for the reference hard disk backplane based on the physical mounting interface location and the hard disk backplane type of the reference hard disk backplane.

[0070] It should be noted that hard drive backplanes have different types of interfaces, such as SATA, SAS, or NVMe. These interfaces may be arranged in a specific way. The interfaces on the hard drive backplane are usually arranged in a certain order, such as from left to right, from top to bottom, or in a specific matrix. The backplane can then be configured with numbers based on the physical installation interface location and the type of hard drive backplane.

[0071] In some alternative implementations, the principle for configuring hard drive numbering is that all front-panel hard drives are ordered from smallest to largest according to the top-to-bottom order of the backplane interfaces; the same applies to other rear and internal backplanes. For example, in an NF5280M6 server with two front-panel hard drives, the numbering configuration would be as follows: Figure 3 As shown: the first front hard drive backplane has a backplane number of "0" and is connected to the server's front interface "port 0". The second front hard drive backplane below the first front hard drive backplane has a backplane number of "1" and is connected to interface "port 1". The first rear hard drive backplane has a backplane number of "0" and is connected to the server's rear interface "port 0". It can be understood that the front hard drive backplane, rear hard drive backplane, and internal hard drive backplane can be determined based on the backplane installation position.

[0072] For example, the target hard drive is located on a front hard drive backplane, and it is the first front hard drive backplane (interface is "0" and backplane number is 0).

[0073] Further in step S2 above, a hard drive number is configured for the hard drive according to the physical installation location and hard drive type of the hard drive, wherein the hard drive type includes front hard drive, rear hard drive and internal hard drive.

[0074] For example, each backplane supports a maximum of 1-2 hard drives. The hard drive number on the backplane with serial number 0 is numbered from 0 to 11 according to the physical mounting slots (the slots where the hard drives are installed) (e.g., top to bottom). The hard drive number on the backplane with serial number 1 is numbered from 1 to 24. The front hard drive is installed on the front hard drive backplane. That is to say, if it is the first hard drive on the first hard drive backplane, the hard drive number is "0".

[0075] Through the above-described embodiments of this application, a hard disk backplane number is configured for the reference hard disk backplane based on its physical mounting interface location and hard disk backplane type; a hard disk number is configured for the hard disk based on its physical mounting interface location and hard disk type; the type of hard disk backplane is distinguished based on its mounting location, and a hard disk backplane number is assigned accordingly; similarly, the hard disks on the hard disk backplane are configured with corresponding numbers in sequence. This enables the determination of the hard disk location based on the hard disk backplane number and the hard disk number, and the lighting operation of the indicator light electrically connected to the hard disk slot is improved.

[0076] In one optional implementation, target location description information of the target hard drive is determined based on the backplane quantity information and hard drive quantity information of the reference hard drive backplane, including:

[0077] S1. Determine the target hard disk backplane number based on the target physical mounting interface location and the hard disk backplane type of the target hard disk backplane, wherein the target hard disk is installed on the target hard disk backplane.

[0078] S2, determine the target hard drive number based on the target physical installation location of the target hard drive;

[0079] S3, determine the target location description information of the target hard drive based on the target hard drive backplane number that matches the target hard drive backplane and the target hard drive number that matches the target hard drive.

[0080] In steps S1-S3 above, the target hard drive backplane number is determined based on the target physical mounting interface location and the hard drive backplane type of the target hard drive backplane, wherein a target hard drive is installed on the target hard drive backplane; the target hard drive number is determined based on the target physical mounting interface location of the target hard drive; and the target location description information of the target hard drive is determined based on the target hard drive backplane number that matches the target hard drive backplane and the target hard drive number that matches the target hard drive.

[0081] Optionally, for example, to obtain the target location description information of the first hard drive on the second front hard drive backplane, it can be understood that, for example, the first hard drive backplane connector corresponds to port "0", and the sequence number of the first hard drive backplane is 0; the second hard drive backplane connector corresponds to port "1", and the sequence number of the second hard drive backplane is 1. The current hard drive status information on the BMC is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, for example, if the first hard drive backplane can support a maximum of 12 hard drives, then the hard drives on the first hard drive backplane are assigned serial numbers 0-11. In sequence, the serial number of the first hard drive on the second hard drive backplane is "12". Then the location description information of the target hard drive can be determined as "0x0c". The above location description information can be "slot index" or the slot number of the hard drive.

[0082] It should be noted that hard drives are connected to the motherboard or hard drive backplane via data cables (such as SATA or SAS). These cables contain signal lines for controlling indicator lights. After determining the target hard drive's location description information (such as serial number), the physical location information of the target hard drive can be determined. Then, based on the electrical connection relationship and communication protocol between the slot and the indicator light signal lines on the server, the corresponding lighting operation can be performed.

[0083] Through the above-described embodiments of this application, the target hard drive for which the hard drive light-up operation is performed is determined, and the backplane serial number and the corresponding hard drive serial number of the hard drive backplane where the target hard drive is located are obtained. The target positioning description information of the target hard drive is determined based on the backplane serial number and the hard drive serial number, that is, the serial number identifier of the slot where the target hard drive is located is determined. Thus, the slot where the target hard drive for which the light-up operation is performed is accurately located based on the serial number identifier. Therefore, the light-up operation of the corresponding indicator light of the target hard drive is realized based on the signal transmission between the slot and the target indicator light.

[0084] In one optional implementation, after performing a lighting operation on the target indicator light associated with the target hard drive based on the target location description information, the process includes:

[0085] S1, if the backplane status update information of the hard disk backplane is obtained within the target period, the updated hard disk backplane in working state is determined from multiple hard disk backplanes according to the backplane status update information, and the hard disk quantity update information matching the updated hard disk backplane is obtained. The backplane status update information is used to indicate the current in-situ status of the hard disk backplane, and the hard disk quantity update information is used to indicate the number of hard disk objects that can be installed on the updated hard disk backplane.

[0086] S2, determine the updated target hard disk backplane number that matches the target hard disk backplane based on the backplane status update information of the updated hard disk backplane.

[0087] S3, determine the update target hard drive number that matches the target hard drive on the target hard drive backplane based on the hard drive quantity update information of the updated hard drive backplane;

[0088] S4. Based on the updated target hard disk backplane number and the updated target hard disk number of the target hard disk backplane, determine the updated location description information of the target hard disk on the target hard disk backplane.

[0089] S5, based on the updated location description information of the target hard drive, performs a lighting operation on the target indicator light that matches the slot where the target hard drive is located.

[0090] The above process is described below using a specific implementation method. For example, if a hard disk status change is detected within 5 seconds after the hardware is in the ready state, assume that the first front backplane changes from the in-place state (working state) to the fault state (not in-place state). That is, the updated hard disk backplane currently in the working state is the front hard disk backplane at the original second interface position and other rear hard disk backplanes. In the fault state, no serial number is assigned to the hard disk backplane. For example, the principle of configuring hard disk numbering is that all front hard disks are sorted in ascending order of the front hard disk backplane serial number, according to the top and bottom order of the hard disk backplane interfaces.

[0091] The original hard drive status information on the BMC is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, on the front hard drive backplane with serial number 0, the hard drive serial numbers range from 0 to 11 according to the physical installation slots (e.g., vertical positions). On the front hard drive backplane with serial number 1, the hard drive serial numbers range from 12 to 15. In the event of a failure in the front hard drive backplane with serial number 0, assuming the maximum number of hard drives that can be installed on the front hard drive backplane with serial number 1 remains unchanged (i.e., the updated hard drive count is 4), the updated hard drive status information on the BMC is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the hard drive serial numbers on the front hard drive backplane with serial number 1 are automatically reassigned in order. The hard drive with serial number 12 on the front hard drive backplane with original serial number 1 is updated to 0. The hard drive with serial number 13 on the front hard drive backplane with original serial number 1 is updated to 1. The hard drive with serial number 14 on the front hard drive backplane with original serial number 1 is updated to 2. The hard drive with serial number 15 on the front hard drive backplane with original serial number 1 is updated to 3. The backplane serial numbers of the rear hard drive backplane and the serial numbers of the hard drives on the backplane remain unchanged.

[0092] When the in-situ status of the target hard drive backplane is updated, the updated positioning description information of the target hard drive is obtained. For example, if the serial number of the first hard drive on the original second front hard drive backplane is 12, and the serial number of the first hard drive on the updated second front hard drive backplane is 0, this is the updated positioning description information. In other words, after the backplane status is updated and the correspondence between the backplane and the slot is automatically assigned, the index serial number of the target hard drive in the slot is updated. The serial number "0" is used as the slot index. Then, the slot information of the target hard drive and the target indicator light corresponding to the slot where the target hard drive is located can be determined according to the slot index, so as to perform the lighting operation on the target indicator light.

[0093] BMC out-of-band LED activation is achieved under the operating system using the following command, taking "Ipmittool raw 0x3c 0x500x00 0x00 0x00 0x01" as an example. The meanings of the fields are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, 0x3c and 0x50 are fixed instructions; Byte0 indicates the backplane type, where 0x00 indicates the front backplane and 0x01 indicates the rear backplane; Byte1 indicates the slot number (e.g., slot index value); Byte2 indicates the control type, where 0x00 indicates the blue Locate light status control, 0x01 indicates the keyboard power-on / off status control, 0x02 indicates the red Full light status control, and 0x03 indicates the purple Rebuild light status control; Byte3 indicates the status control, where 0x00 indicates the control light is off, 0x01 indicates the control light is on, and 0x03 indicates the Fault light is flashing (supported by some projects).

[0094] Through the above-described embodiments of this application, when backplane status update information of the hard disk backplane is obtained within the target period, the updated hard disk backplane in working condition is determined from multiple hard disk backplanes based on the backplane status update information, and the update information of the number of hard disks matching the updated hard disk backplane is obtained; the updated target hard disk backplane number matching the target hard disk backplane is determined based on the backplane status update information of the updated hard disk backplane, that is, the number of hard disk backplanes on the server is re-determined; the updated target hard disk number matching the target hard disk on the target hard disk backplane is determined based on the update information of the number of hard disks on the updated hard disk backplane, that is, the number of hard disks on the server is re-determined; the updated target hard disk backplane number of the target hard disk backplane and the updated target hard disk number of the target hard disk are determined based on the updated target target hard disk backplane number and the updated target hard disk number of the target hard disk, and the index sequence number of the slot where the hard disk is located is reassigned when the hard disk is lit; the target indicator light matching the slot where the target hard disk is located is lit based on the updated positioning description information of the target hard disk, thereby realizing accurate positioning of the target hard disk based on the updated index sequence number, and thus performing the correct lighting operation.

[0095] The following combination Figure 6 This document describes a complete method for locating and lighting a disk.

[0096] First, S602, the software starts the disk positioning function. That is, when the management software starts the disk positioning function, the disk positioning process starts the following process.

[0097] S604, check the hardware configuration, for example, by using the command ipmitool fru print to determine whether the server model provides an out-of-band management hard disk backplane information query interface and uses out-of-band channel disk positioning.

[0098] S606, traverse hard drive backplane information, backplane in place and maximum number of supported hard drives;

[0099] Specifically, the applicable models use the IPMI query command to traverse all out-of-band channels of all hard disk backplanes under the BMC to determine which backplanes are in place. For the backplanes in place, the maximum number of hard disk backplanes supported by the hard disk backplane is read simultaneously.

[0100] S608 maps LED parameters according to the backplane serial number and the maximum number of supported hard drives;

[0101] Optionally, hard drive serial numbers are assigned to all front hard drives, rear hard drives, and internal hard drives respectively. The assignment principle is the same as the BMC disk positioning light parameters. The hard drive backplane position status and disk positioning light parameters are saved for use by the management software for disk positioning.

[0102] In some optional implementations, the BMC assigns "Slot numbers" based on a fixed sequence of hard drive serial numbers on each backplane, configured by the backplane hardware. All front-panel hard drives are then sorted sequentially from their backplane serial numbers in ascending order. The same applies to other rear and internal backplanes, where hard drive serial numbers are sorted separately from those of the front-panel drives. For example, in the NF6280M6 server, there are two front-panel hard drive backplanes, each supporting a maximum of 12 hard drives. Hard drive number 10 has backplane serial numbers from 0 to 11, and hard drive number 21 has backplane serial numbers from 12 to 24.

[0103] S610, periodically check whether the position status of all backplanes has changed. Specifically, periodically traverse and check the position status of all hard disk backplanes and compare it with the position status of the hard disk backplanes saved in step S606 to see if there has been a change.

[0104] If no change occurs, repeat step S610 to continue the periodic check. If a change occurs, return to step S606 to repeat the check of the backplane's presence status, and issue an alarm for the out-of-band channel of the hard drive backplane that changes from present to absent, thereby re-determining the slot index for performing the LED operation on the hard drive.
